Using Self-Leveling Concrete to Fix a Bathroom Floor

I couldn't salvage the bathroom tile floor because it was crumbling, loose, and very squeaky! So I am going to fix the floor with self leveling concrete to even out all the gouges and create a stable surface for my new LVT floor.

Well done and you have a lovely singing voice! 😃🎶

My first comment here, just subbed recently and wow!...your videos are way better than a lot of DIY's out there! Your calmnesss and clear no bs demeanor coupled with your soothing voice while narrating or talking is very refreshing and enjoyable, plus I'm not afraid to admit I'm learning a thing or two from your videos and as guy I can't think of a compliment better than that 😎

I really love that you went to blog style videos. You make me chuckle

Oh I know the feeling. I did this to my bathroom floor (a slab that sunk so it really sloped) and I was amazed too. The spray foam was a great idea. The screwing the floor down was a great tip too, I worked on another house and all the 50+ year old nails were loose. I spend hours and hours screwing down 3 rooms while the carpet was out.

@robertjames-life4768 Год назад

We use a “porcupine “ on our self level it’s a spiked roller, breaks the surface tension, gives a great result.

@lovestosingalot55bodin7 Год назад

20 minutes to cut that vinyl tile.....excellent! I thought that was impressive. You did a great job with every stage of doing that floor; and you do a great job with everything that you try. Good job~good experience for you.

@ronm6585 Год назад

Luv the tile. Thanks for sharing the steps you took.

@user-ip1ms1ir7l 6 месяцев назад

Outstanding video, many thanks!! I most appreciated your detailed description of sealing the edges of the floor and around closet flange with foam and caulk and THEN showing how to remove the foam and caulk (although that only was for 3 seconds and around the closet flange only). After hours of scouring YT I have not seen how to remove the edge sealers, whatever they are., which lack of knowledge has caused a lot of stress. You are very skilled and I will be using your method tomorrow on my half bathroom floor to apply self leveler.

@North.van_john Год назад

Floor looks great! I did the same thing a few years ago. You did a way better job than I did with the self leveling floor. Wish I watched your video beforehand.

@lindaroyal8161 Год назад

A lot of work, so many steps prior to laying the floor. I've seen work in bathrooms over the years, that have skipped a couple of these steps and now wondering if one of my bathrooms will be a problem later down the road. Very good information. TY

@normandong4479 Год назад

Informative video. Good detail. Love the camera angle that aims toward the floor in question, which also makes your smile look even prettier. You have good lighting that makes you even more photogenic. Well done.

@marcusdavis8650 Год назад

It looks awesome 👍🏾 you did real good I remember laying laminate flooring around the bathroom and it’s very challenging when it comes to the toilet but I took your advice on one of your former videos when you used a bowl to help you measure the diameter 👍🏾

Hey, Melissa, great video. One constructive comment here for your consideration. Please do consider wearing gloves of some sort to protect yourself from possible mold formations as well as virus or heavy bacterial contamination. If that stuff is going to found in a home, it will be in the bathrooms. A mask perhaps to offset airborne contaminated particulates. Again, great video!

Thankfully 😅 Don’t have to worry about it. Have hot water heat. And we just had a 96% efficiency combination system put in about a year ago. It not only heats the house, but supplies a just about unlimited amount of hot water. 🚿 👍 It definitely wasn’t cheap! 😅 💸🇺🇸

@jeffreyjbyron 4 месяца назад

2 questions! I may have missed it, but did you say that if the subfloor was flat/level enough that you wouldn't need a self-leveling mud? How much did the leveler build up the floor, and after "tile" will you need a big transition into the hallway? Do the LVT vinyl tiles not need an adhesive? Do you grout them like tile?

Curious to know why you went with vinyl instead of tile. Lovely job none the less.

It’s just easier to install and maintain. Easier to replace in the future if I want something different or it gets damaged.

@KJB0001 11 месяцев назад

so you don't need cement board between the leveler and the tile?

@jerometruitt2731 9 месяцев назад

Was grinding the floor flat really necessary if you're gonna be using self leveler anyway?

@claudiakemper4033 Год назад

Love the transformation! Did you pour the concrete on top of a wooden subfloor? Is it a first or upper floor BA? How did you attach the tiles?

@WelcometotheWoodsBlog Год назад

Yes, it was a plywood subfloor on the upper floor of the house. The tiles are floating, they click together with a waterproof puzzle joinery.

@brentfowler2317 Год назад

When scribing the side my the toilet on the vinyl flooring. Couldn't you have laid the piece for the toilet side upside down on the opposite side? Then scribed the back of it, cut it, and flipped it and placed it on the correct side and mark for the hole cutouts at that point? I'm just curious. Thanks for another cool video. Take care

@WelcometotheWoodsBlog 11 месяцев назад

I tried that but it wasn’t as precise as my washer because I was trying to get the tiles lined up with seams exactly in the center. So it was hard to hold the tile in the air at the length I needed if that makes sense

@@WelcometotheWoodsBlog I know!! Just a suggestion for those who are reading the comments and a lil' bit nervous Did you apply the tiles directly to the leveler or did you put cement board down first?
